Overview
The story takes place in Beaver Creek, Oregon, where Chris lives with his father, Charles, who is struggling with the death of Chris' mother. When playing in the costume of his alter ego hero we can customise his abilities to be better equipped for quests like treasure hunting and exploring. As we do this and decide how to talk to players in the game, we create a branching narrative with different outcomes.
